The short answer

The closest alternative to the Nivada Grenchen Autochron is the Yema Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series Limited Edition ($2,390) — common cross-shop and Racing chrono. If price is the constraint, the Yema Rallygraf Alpine Cup Series at $449 (vs $2,495 for the Autochron) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Olech & Wajs Watches MIRAGE III is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Valjoux 7750) and Racing chrono. Stepping up, the RGM Watches Model 455 Classic Chronographs ($7,950) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
